Man, this is exaactly the kind of loser mentality that keeps other programs in the basement. We are not "fighting Montana and Weber State," we are building a specific kind of team with guys who want to be here and develop. You're obsessed with stars while our coaches are obsessed with finding football players. Look at our roster, half the guys making plays were "fringe" recruits that we identified and developed better than anyone else could. The SEC can have their five-star divas, we build men. Our lane is winning championships, and we're doing it with our guys, not by crying about rankings. You think Penn State out-worked us on some kid from South Dakota? Maybe we evaluated him and didn't think he was a fit. We don't just offer kids to get a moral victory in recruiting, we offer kids who can help us win. Our NIL collective is focused on taking care of the players who are already in the building and proving it. The "bagman game" comment is weak, typical rival envy. We build through development and culture, not shortcuts. Every year people like you point to the rankings, and every year we point to the scoreboard and the ring ceremony. Keep worrying about crystal balls, we'll be focused on lifting trophies.
